Smith eyeing Bollywood project

Boyle turned his hand to making a film in India with his latest project, which was shot in Mumbai.

And the moviemaker is convinced that Smith is serious about trying his luck in a different genre of pictures - because the Independence Day star made several trips to visit him onset in India.

Boyle says, "While we were filming there, Will Smith came over twice. There's a massive coming together of Bollywood and Hollywood. It'll only take one person to bring them together and it will be huge."

And Smith also sought out Indian megastar Anil Kapoor, who confirmed that the actor recently paid him a visit: "Yes, he came to visit us. He came to my residence. Very nice chap."
